Chapter 26
While Howard was immersed in the joy of climbing up the high branch of the Collins family, Zoey
immediately hit him with a splash of reality.
“Dad, have you forgotten? You’ve already announced to the public that you’ve cut ties with Lucille. You
said that even if she were nearing death, you want nothing to do with her. Lucille has always been
someone who never forgives nor forgets. Plus, now that she’s part of the high ranking Collins family.
Not only won’t she not help us, she’ll now use the power from Mr. Joseph’s family and seek revenge on
us.”
Howard was stunned and his smile froze on the corner of his mouth.
Yes, how could he forget about it?
“You’re right.” He gritted his teeth and said, “Lucille, that ungrateful b*tch might even get her revenge
on us.”
Zoey narrowed her eyes in a sinister way. “So, Dad, we must not let this marriage succeed. Otherwise,
the Jules family will be destroyed in her hands.”
Seeing that Howard was still hesitating, Zoey sighed again. “Once, my classmates accidentally bumped
into her and sent her into the pond. Bear in mind that it was an accident. She held a grudge in her
heart. Not only did she call the police, but she also refused to withdraw her report. She’s adamant that
someone was to be blamed for it. Her stubborn character is really…”
Howard, who was still hesitating, was immediately shaken by her words.
“That’s true, I’ve already cut her out. If she really marries into the Collins family, she will definitely take
revenge on us with their power.”
He shouldn’t have been so kind to her back then. If he hadn’t, then she wouldn’t have gotten the
chance to sell. 40% of her shares.
Although he had already found a way to buy back 20% of the shares, that huge sum of money was
equivalent fo a significant loss!
L
With his current financial situation, if something were to slip up at the company at this moment, then he
would really be penniless!
Therefore, the best solution he could come up with was to prevent Lucille from marrying into the Collins
family.
Howard calmed down and asked, “Zoey, I remember that she stole something from your classmates
before, didn’t she? What was it?”
Zoey lowered her head and tried to behave coquettishly. She stole the precious diamond necklace from
the Zanes family’s daughter. The necklace is worth at least a thousand yuan. It happened about two
months ago, and everyone in class knows about it. But she somehow managed to get Jenny locked up
in a detention center until now. Obviously, the Zanes family will blame this on us.”
Howard was so angry that you could see smoke coming out from his nose. “This unfilial daughter! She
is heartless! Don’t blame me for being a heartless father!”
Zoey lowered her head, a wicked smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
She had achieved her goal.
Now, she had to just wait for the show to unfold before her!
That night, Jenny’s father, Sebastian Zanes, received a call from Howard.
On the phone, Howard personally admitted that Lucille was the one who stole Jenny’s necklace. His
last sentence was, “Mr. Zanes, I have severed all ties with this b*stard. No matter what you choose to
do, I will not interfere! This is the punishment she deserves!”
In the early morning of the next day, the fog hung over the twilight sky.
Lucille was already awake at 5 in the morning, and she had spent two hours at the gym.
When she was done training, she wiped the sweat from her face and ignored the men around her who

seemed
to be interested in making conversation. Instead, she went back up to her room and changed into a
fresh outfit.
Madam Dahlia was one step ahead and arranged for room service. Just as the dishes arrived at the Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
room, Lucille stepped out of the bathroom.
“Miss, come and have a bite.”
“I’m coming.” Lucille sat down and picked up a sandwich.
After breakfast, Lucille went through to check-out.
The new villa had been cleaned up yesterday, and it was filled with all the stuff they needed. There was
no need for her to stay in the hotel since she had her own place to stay.
Lucille asked Madam Dahlia move her things into the new villa. Since it was Monday, she had taken a
taxi to attend her classes.
Sitting in the taxi, she turned on the phone that had been shut off all night long.
The stream of messages full of harassment overflowed her phone.
One of them even had death threats.
‘Little girl, I’ll give you one last warning. If you don’t drop the lawsuit and make my daughter really go to
jail, be careful, or I’ll kill you!’
The arrogant tone of the message was signed off with an arrogant name, Sebastian Zane.
She remembered. Oh, this was Jenny’s biological father, a business tycoon who ranked in the top 50 of
Shein City.
Lucille’s fingertips tapped lightly and she replied to the other party’s message…
‘I have the evidence on hand now. If I were to make a move, Mr. Zanes, you’d be the biggest suspect.
